These ten, with the one killed at Detroit, a Trader in the Shawnoe Country, and one lately in a Field whilst asleep near Turtle Creek, by a Delawar Indian said to be a half Brother of one Powell who lives near Turtle Creek, makes in all thirteen white men killed by the Indians within four or five months ; so that upon the whole, they seem pretty even with us in tRe article of murder. The above Delawar attempted the life of another man also asleep who luckily awoke at the Explosion of the Indian's Gun, which he discharged in the Head of the Deceased whose name was M'= Donald. The second man is a good deal .wounded, but got to Fort Pitt.

SIR WILLIAM JOHNSON. 891

There was a demand made a long time since, and lately renewed, for some Arms taken by Colonel Bradstreet at Oswego from a French Trader for the use of the Indians. The Colonel would not pay it, but if I remember well gave a Certificate, which was transmitted to you If the Demand has not been paid by you be so good to look out for the Certificate, for the money is justly due ; and somebody should pay the Trader ; but Colonel Bradstreet objected, that the Price demanded was too high. If you can make out an affair of so long standing I should be glad that you would pay the Trader what is reasonable.

I am with great Regard, Dear Sir,
